Watch: Russian Paratroopers Destroy Ukrainian Platoon Stronghold

In early June, after months of announcements and hype about imminent battlefield success, Kiev launched its counteroffensive. But the soldiers ran into stubborn Russian defenses and precisely laid minefields.

During reconnaissance and search operations, Russian paratroopers destroyed an enemy platoon stronghold in the Kleshcheevka area.
The paratroopers discovered a platoon stronghold with Ukrainian nationalists holed up in it. The coordinates of the enemy positions were immediately transmitted to the artillery control point.
After marching to firing positions, the crews of the 2S9 Nona self-propelled guns took aim and hit the enemy stronghold with accurate fire. The Ukraian personnel were destroyed.
Artillery units of 120-mm self-propelled Nona guns of the Airborne Troops conduct daily combat work to destroy enemy manpower and military equipment in Artemovsk direction.
Last month, Vladimir Putin made it clear that Ukrainian troops had not achieved tangible results on all fronts of Kiev's counteroffensive.
In 2022, Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate and defend the inhabitants of the Donbass region, where people have been suffering from a blockade and regular attacks by the Kiev regime's forces since 2014.
